To this end, papers will address:
• How might we read Hebrew poetry as divine communication? What is the theological significance of this poetry within the context of a given community of faith?
• How do the biblical poets construct meaning? How do faithful readers of these poems creatively read biblical poetry to find meaning for today?
• How might poetry facilitate an encounter with God? How can we embody a proper responsiveness to what a particular poem is doing/saying?
• What can the genre of poetry do that another genre cannot do?
Speakers include:
John Goldingay,
Ellen Davis,
Katie Heffelfinger,
Benjamin Sommer,
Shai Held,
David Firth,
June Dickie, and
Yisca Zimran
